Calculating Wavelength of Ultrasound Waves

A medical technician is analyzing the acoustic properties of a new ultrasound imaging device. This device emits sound waves at a frequency of 2.5 MHz. The technician notes that the speed of sound in the tissue being examined is approximately 1540 m/s.

To understand better how this ultrasound functions, the technician is interested in determining the wavelength of the sound waves produced by the device in the tissue. The technician recalls that the wavelength ( λ) can be calculated using the formula:

λ = v/f

where v is the speed of sound in the medium and f is the frequency of the sound wave.

Using this information, what is the wavelength of the ultrasound waves in the tissue?
